E.g. it is not a good idea to use GTK+ 3.20 with GtkSourceView 3.22. So if an application uses the GNOME 3.20 runtime, it should also use the 3.20 version for other GNOME libraries. -- Sébastien _______________________________________________ gnome-os-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os-list
